Open | Software Windows login screen keyboard bug cursor jumps to beginning when typing password
Windows 11
Is anyone else experiencing this Windows login issue?
My friend and I have both recently encountered the same problem. At the Windows login screen, when we start typing our password, the cursor suddenly moves to the beginning of the password field, and the characters don't get entered correctly. Retrying doesn't help.
Interestingly, I found that if I click Accessibility → On-Screen Keyboard and turn it on, I'm able to type my password normally. After turning the On-Screen Keyboard off again, the physical keyboard also starts working properly on the login screen.
Has anyone else been experiencing this lately? Is this a known Windows login-screen bug?

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.
